Cricketer accused of child abuse yet to enter plea
Aaron William Summers is accused of penetrative sexual abuse of a child or young person and grooming with the intention of exposing a child or young person to indecent material.
The 29-year-old played one game for the Hobart Hurricanes in late 2017 and three one-day games for Tasmania, after making his debut in 2018.
The offences allegedly occurred in Hobart on January 16, 2018 - a time when Summers was part of the Hurricanes roster.
Summers appeared in Hobart Magistrates Court on Friday via phone from Perth.
His lawyer Caroline Graves said she had received an "11th-hour" disclosure which would take three-four weeks to look at closely.
The matter was adjourned to September 8 and Summers' bail was continued.
He was extradited from the Northern Territory to Tasmania in April and is yet to enter a plea to the charges.
Magistrate Andrew McKee said the matter could be committed to the Supreme Court of Tasmania.
Summers, a fast bowler, became the first foreign player to play in Pakistan's revamped domestic cricket competition in 2020.

The miracle try inspiring Blues for Origin decider
NSW greats say it's time James Tedesco's "miracle try" from 2019 got the credit it deserves, as current Blues look to it as inspiration for their own Origin series decider. On Wednesday night the Blues will play their first home decider since 2019, when Tedesco scored a last-minute match winner to claim the shield. Several NSW players, including captain Isaah Yeo, identified the try as their favourite Origin moment when asked this week. A large photo of Tedesco's clincher is emblazoned across an entire wall in NSW's gym, with the 79:28 mark on the clock printed onto it. But while the Blues look at it every time they begin camp in their Centre of Excellence, players believe it is not talked about enough. "You see a lot of things that get spoken about with big moments in Origin. I don't know if it gets the credit it deserves," Yeo said. "It's such a big iconic moment for our state ... It was a decider, such a big moment. "From deep yardage, 60 metres out and the backs are against the wall and you've got players making some big plays." NSW's 2019 captain Boyd Cordner agrees, believing it has level-pegging with Mark Coyne's famous game-one 1994 "miracle" try that is among Origin's most-replayed moments. "I see more highlights of that than ours. But this is our miracle try," Cordner, who remains on NSW's staff, told AAP. "I see photos of it and I'm still in disbelief. "It's one of the best Origin moments, if not the best in terms of comebacks and big moments." Tedesco also considers the try his favourite of any he has scored. Despite NSW leading 20-8 with 10 minutes to go, they were left working the ball out of yardage at 20-20 in the last minute. After Blake Ferguson teased the touchline from a midfield shift from inside the Blues' half, he threw the ball back in field and Tedesco reached behind to collect it. Tedesco initially planned to take a quick tackle to set up for a field goal, before the path to the line opened up. "It was a pretty unbelievable couple of seconds there. It went from maybe we could get a field goal to a match-winning try," Tedesco said. "It was just pure joy and happiness. Even (coach) Freddy (Fittler) ran on the field before we finished the game. "A decider is always a massive game, but then at home in the last seconds of the game, it doesn't really get much better than that." Tedesco's try gave NSW their first back-to-back series wins since 2005, and effectively put a full stop on Queensland's dynasty. Come Wednesday, the current NSW squad can join the 2019 team as back-to-tack series winners. "That moment, winning that series and scoring that try was a bit of a turnaround for NSW," Tedesco continued. "There was definitely a lot more belief. "In years gone by it would have been Queensland who won in the dying seconds and won the series. "I am sure this (week) will be similar, a big Origin moment at the end of the game. Hopefully it is one of our boys who is celebrating."

Detail overlooked in nationwide rollout of new smart road cameras
New "smart" road cameras which detect mobile and seatbelt offences are popping up across the country as authorities attempt to lower the ever-increasing Australian road death toll. The AI-powered safety cameras have been quickly embraced by Australian state governments and are now being used across the world. But they do little to protect groups of road users who are sadly overrepresented in deaths, one road safety researcher has argued. RMIT's road safety professor, Nirajan Shiwakoti, told Yahoo News while the changes "represent progress", it is "not the solution for everything". He said authorities face an uphill battle building trust with communities when it comes to the use of the data — and what happens to the revenue raised. The new cameras target drivers caught breaking the law with their mobile phones and seatbelts with eye-opening results. While they have been in place in NSW and Victoria for some time, Western Australia was the latest state to adopt the technology in January this year. Drivers are yet to be fined for offences, but the trial period has produced "astounding" results. It was revealed at a WA Budget Estimates hearing earlier this week that the cameras had captured a mind-blowing 130,000 offences, with nearly 50,000 caution letters issued to those in breach of the road rules since the cameras were rolled out. Police Minister Reece Whitby said that while he doesn't want to be involved in "massive revenue raising", if behaviour doesn't change, "we are going to see revenue roll in like we've never seen it before, and I'll be gladly spending it on more safety measures." Shiwakoti said there is a risk that if the use of the technology is not communicated properly, it may "lead people to feel" that mass surveillance is taking place, or there "might be misuse of personal data". The legitimacy of the technology has been questioned by road users, with dozens, possibly hundreds of drivers coming forward this year to challenge their penalties — with some successfully overturning their fines. Last July, one NSW driver had his $410 fine and 10 demerit points dropped after he submitted an appeal. He claimed the item caught in his hand by a roadside camera could have been a number of things, not just a phone. In November, another driver in the state shared their frustration at receiving a seatbelt fine, arguing the grainy and unclear photos supplied by authorities failed to show proof of the apparent act. "The challenge for transport authorities is being transparent with the benefits of this technology," Shiwakoti said. "They must provide assurance to the community that there won't be any misuse, that this sort of technology is there to save lives rather than revenue raising and back this up with evidence," he said. He'd like to see authorities communicate evidence of how the cameras are deployed and trends in mobile phone and seatbelt misuse. "That will hopefully provide trust to the community," he said, pointing out they are "there to save lives not just for fines." The "smart cameras" are primarily on highways and motorways near metropolitan areas. But Shiwakoti argues it ignores the most vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and culturally diverse people — particularly those in remote areas. A disproportionate number of crashes involve cyclists on Australian roads despite them being a small percentage of overall road users. Last year, cyclist deaths jumped from 34 in 2023 to 38 in 2024, an 11.8% increase, with motor vehicles involved in the majority of crashes. He added that indigenous Australians also face disproportionately high road fatalities, particularly in regional areas. And despite the drawbacks of the technology, Shiwakoti believes we will see these cameras rolled out and expanded to new locations across the country. "I think it will be expanded," he said. "You will see in the future it being right across urban and regional areas." But he believes a "holistic" approach which considers all road users needs to be adopted. "This technology is just one tool available, but we need to be thinking about a proactive approach," he said. Do you have a story tip?

Calls grow to back safety over access in childcare
Australians are being urged to prioritise safety over increased access to childcare following horrifying allegations of sexual abuse within early education. The federal government has promised to deliver universal access early education, but parents' trust in the system has been shaken after a Victorian childcare worker was charged with more than 70 sex offences against children. Education Minister Jason Clare vowed to fast-track measures aimed at strengthening childcare centre safety standards and conceded change had been too slow. On Sunday, opposition frontbencher Melissa McIntosh raised the pace of reform and questioned whether Labor had its priorities in order. "Their top priority should be the safety of our children," she told the ABC. "The government has this mandate to increase childcare in this country, to have more children in childcare. "Why is that their top priority?" The coalition has promised to support any reforms that would help protect children as the government prepares to expedite its childcare safety legislation when parliament returns on July 22. Any childcare operators who persistently fail to meet minimum standards would be prevented from opening new centres. Repeat offenders or those with egregious and continued breaches would be cut off from the government's childcare subsidy funding. The Victorian government also unveiled its own reforms which include a register of childcare workers and educators, a ban on personal mobile phones in centres and mandatory CCTV. Following the sexual abuse allegations, many parents have become hesitant to leave their children with childcare providers, but the growing cost of living has left them with no choice, federal cabinet minister Kristy McBain said. "We have to make sure that parents have trust in that system," she told Sky News. "There's some work to do here, but we will work really hard because what we've seen afforded is every parents' worst nightmare." Changes to working with children checks will be discussed at the next meeting of state and territory attorneys-general, and a national childcare safety crackdown is under way with the first stage focusing on stricter recommendations for photography, filming and mandatory reporting rules. Some parents have called for men to be banned from working in childcare, but the government does not believe it is the solution to child safety and members of the coalition have also been hesitant. The Victorian allegations follow the arrest and charging of a Brisbane childcare worker last year, who was accused of more than 300 offences against 60 children at a range of centres. 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) National Sexual Abuse and Redress Support Service 1800 211 028
